Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-4483:
---------------------------------------
It might be nice even if the error message is somewhat prescriptive without
being too wordy like:
ERROR 08004: Connection authentication failure occurred. Reason: userid or
password invalid, or the database may be using an alternate password encryption
scheme. If this error started after upgrade refer to the DERBY-4483 release
note for options.
I don't know if there is a precedent for referring to Jira issues in messages,
but it might help users with self service if they encounter the issue on
upgrade.

> The BUILTIN authentication scheme protects the passwords by hashing them with
> the SHA-1 algorithm. It would be nice to have way to specify a different
> algorithm so that users can take advantage of new, stronger algorithms
> provided by their JCE provider if so desired.
